Vegan Thanksgiving 2023

Thanksgiving was never a holiday I was very excited about until recently. There are tons of historical reasons to avoid it and, well, I’m vegan. However, over the past few years, especially during covid, I have learned how to cook and am on a mission to convince everyone that vegan food is delicious! What better day to do this than on the day of the year that is known for its gluttonous meat consumption! My goal is to have my guests happy, full, and still feeling healthy by the end of the night!
